A funky-smooth rendition of an old jazz piece (Cold Duck Time) enriched by Adamo’s consistently rich vocal texturings. This time ’round, Adamo sports more of a Lou Rawls thing in his version of the jazz standard first set down by Les McCann and Eddie Harris in 1968. Tenor-saxman Melicia Magdaluyo and organist Neil Larsen give the Duck some additional punch. Thought it’s less of a punch and more of a smoothly and steadily delivered kind of melismatic complementarity.

"In 2016, where an always-connected generation screams for attention through new, often contrived definitions of “cool” and surprisingly predictable proclamations of uniqueness, singer and spoken word artist Tony Adamo arrives seemingly from nowhere as a true anachronism: a performer who is authentically “cool” in a timeless, almost reckless way that almost no popular artist today can match."
